Misunderstanding

People hear lucid dreaming and think its a lot of baloney not knowing that there is a lot of science involved that goes on about lucid dreaming. Hearing you can control your dreams, and they think of a Hollywood movie but they also don't know before you know how to control your dreams you first have to learn to remember your dreams. Ironic because the word lucid means to be clear, easily understood but not a lot of people understand lucid dreaming and most of them are confused. Now that I've learned a lot about lucid dreaming I've came to understand that lucid dreaming isn't really like sleeping more as a sort of meditation. When you are lucid dreaming it is as if you are in a neutral state but aware that you are in that state.
